After the meeting, Qi Long saw that Qi Ming hadn't left for a long time, so he walked over and asked suspiciously, "Why haven't you left yet?" Looking for me? ”

In fact, although Qi Long has retired to the mall for many years, he still has some impressions of some of the methods and rules in the mall, so he probably guessed a few points about the reason why Qi Ming stayed here, so he deliberately walked over to ask him.

Qi Ming saw Qi Long take the initiative to come over, so he smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to show the elders my determination, I hope the elders can say a few more kind words for me when they discuss in the group, I must be grateful." ”

Qi Ming knew that the person who got into Qi Long's status hated the most was the person who colluded with his boss, so Qi Ming just said such a thing, and did not say too much materially, and also hoped that he could maintain an upright image in Qi Long's heart.

"Mr. Qi's words are serious," Qi Long also smiled politely back, "Since your votes are the highest today, then I naturally have to explain to the clan, as for what decisions everyone makes, it is not up to me to influence." ”

Qi Long politely rejected Qi Ming's request, but Qi Ming was not surprised, like this kind of big man who has been in the family for many years, these words alone naturally can't convince him.

In fact, Qi Ming just tried it, since Qi Long's road didn't work, then he didn't bother much on him, and left after a few polite words.

After the end, Qi Ming did not go back to the company, but returned home directly.

In the past few days, he has been going home to have dinner with Qiao Ruowei almost every day after work, which really means living together.

At the dinner table, Qi Ming mentioned to Qiao Ruoyu about today's family meeting.

The Qi family's family selection caused a stir in the city, how could Qiao Ruowei not know about it? So after listening to Qi Ming mention it, he didn't show too much surprise.

However, the result was still very unexpected by Qiao Ruoyu.

"What? You have the highest number of votes of all? Then have you now become the new patriarch of the Qi family? ”

Qiao Ruoyu never expected that Qi Ming's votes would be higher than Qi Mucheng's, but after thinking about it, Qi Ming must have used some means behind his back, and it is normal for the highest number of votes.

Qi Ming sighed after listening to Qiao Ruowei's words and said: "No, those old stubborns, they are not satisfied after reading the votes, what do they say for the sake of fairness, they have to wait for the old patriarch to come to their senses before making a decision, and this vote has not come out with any final results at all." ”

After finishing speaking, Qi Ming also poked the rice in the bowl with his hand angrily, and the expression on his face became a little sinister.

"In other words, this family meeting has not played a substantive role at all, and the final new patriarch will not be decided until the old patriarch comes to his senses."

Qi Ming nodded.

Qiao Ruowei could see that Qi Ming cared very much about the position of the new patriarch this time, if he could help him get this position, wouldn't his worries about himself be completely dispelled?

After thinking about it, Qiao Ruoyu asked, "Is the position of the new patriarch so important?" Why do so many people want to be? ”

Qi Ming glanced at Qiao Ruowei and said, "Of course it's important, I don't know about the patriarchs of other families, but the Qi family, there are so many subsidiaries under him, serving as the patriarch is equivalent to having the right to speak, of course, it is attractive enough." ”

Qiao Ruowei hooked the corners of her mouth, stared at Qi Ming motionlessly, and said, "If I say that I have a way to make you the new patriarch, do you believe it?" ”

Qi Ming also turned his head to stare at Qiao Ruoyu when he heard the voice, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, as if he was thinking about whether what Qiao Ruowei said was true or false.

"Do you have a way?"

Qi Ming asked in disbelief.

"I need you to tell me the address of the old patriarch's hospitalization and some of the old patriarch's usual living habits and preferences, I don't know if it will succeed, but I will definitely do my best."

Qiao Ruowei turned her head away and stopped staring at Qi Ming, but her eyes were still bright, and she looked quite confident.

Qi Ming had also dealt with Qiao Ruowei before, and knew that she was an extremely smart woman, otherwise she would not have escaped from him again and again.

Qi Ming smiled meaningfully at Qiao Ruoyu, this woman seemed to be getting more and more attractive.

Qi Ming answered the questions raised by Qiao Ruowei just now, Qiao Ruowei remembered them one by one, and after the evening, she silently calculated in her heart.

The old patriarch's illness was caused by overwork, and as long as he recuperated well, it didn't take too long to wake up.

Calculate the time when the old patriarch started to be hospitalized, and he will be able to wake up in a few days, thinking of this, Qiao Ruoyu smiled with satisfaction.

She decided to take Changsheng to see the old patriarch.

Originally, Qiao Ruoyu didn't want to involve Changsheng in this matter, but thinking that the old man must like children very much, things will definitely go more smoothly with Changsheng.

Everything is fine on Qi Ming's side, but Qi Mucheng's family has already been in trouble.

Qi Mucheng suspected that his votes might be done by Xuan Xue as early as the meeting, so he went home and questioned her after the meeting.

Xuan Xue was still complacent about what she had done, and when Qi Mucheng asked her, she also admitted it.

Unexpectedly, Qi Mucheng became angry.

"Why didn't you ask me beforehand before you did this? Can you meddle in the affairs of the Qi family casually? ”

Qi Mucheng's pupils were as cold as a cold cave, and the words he spoke did not carry a trace of warmth.

Xuan Xue felt extremely aggrieved, she was busy with this matter, but after she finished doing it, Qi Mucheng had this attitude.

"Isn't it all for you? You don't care about the position of the patriarch, but someone cares, I definitely can't let that slut of Qi Ming ride on your head. ”

Xuan Xue was probably really angry, and her words also carried an urge to say something.

Qi Mucheng glanced at Xuan Xue, shook his head, and then left the house with his coat.

He was extremely remorseful, hating that he had provoked such a woman after drinking and having sex at that time, and the more he regretted it, the deeper he missed Qiao Ruowei in his heart.

But what's the use?

She has now become someone else's wife, and she has already had a child with someone else, and her own child is about to be born, and they will eventually embark on two lives of parting ways.

After Qi Mucheng left, Xuan Xue sat on the sofa and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Why?

Why did he do so much for him, and he still didn't appreciate it at all?

Did he really never have himself in his heart?

After losing her temper, Xuan Xue began to think about the next step.

Whether Qi Mucheng wants to be the patriarch or not, she must mention that Qi Mucheng gets the position of the patriarch, and she must not cheapen Qi Ming and Qiao Ruoyu.

Thinking of this, she gradually calmed down.

After picking up the mobile phone and finding someone to find out the hospital where the old patriarch is now staying, Xuan Xue immediately took action.

Since the final candidate has not been determined in this vote, it is now necessary to work on the old patriarch.

Qi Ming's house.

Qiao Ruowei thought about it again and again, but decided to go over tonight.

The time when the old patriarch will wake up is still uncertain, and if he goes one more day, he can seize the opportunity for one more day, and his chances will be greater.

Almost at the same time, go to the same place, and naturally meet at the same time.

Qiao Ruoyu hurriedly ran in when the elevator was about to close, and saw the familiar figure in the elevator.

Xuan Xue!

This hospital is mainly for recuperation, and is not located in the center of the city, Xuan Xue came here at night, and she didn't have to think about it to know what she was here for.

Qiao Ruoyu didn't show too much worry when she saw Xuan Xue, but Xuan Xue, after seeing Qiao Ruoyu, her eyes were about to burst into flames.

"What are you doing here?"

"Whatever you come to do, I'll naturally do it."

"You ......"

The elevator door opened in time, Xuan Xue stomped her foot angrily, and walked out of the elevator room in front of Qiao Ruoyu.

Qiao Ruoyu snorted coldly, and also took Changsheng's hand and walked out unhurriedly.

Even if he entered the ward now, the old patriarch was not necessarily awake, so Qiao Ruoyu was not in a hurry at all.

After Xuan Xue got out of the elevator room, she hurriedly inquired about the old patriarch's ward, she wanted to meet the old patriarch before Qiao Ruowei and leave a good impression on the old patriarch.

Soon Xuan Xue found the ward, but when she pushed the door in, she was deflated, and the old patriarch hadn't woken up at all.

There were still people in the group in the ward who were taking care of the old patriarch, and Xuan Xue stayed after explaining her identity to them.

After a while, Qiao Ruoyu took Changsheng into the ward.

Qiao Ruoyu specially brought her own documents before she came, a senior doctor, so when she proposed to check on the old patriarch's condition, the two people did not stop her.

Xuan Xue stomped her feet angrily beside her, but there was no way.

After a cursory inspection, Qiao Ruoyu found that the old patriarch's complexion had recovered a lot, and it should not take long to wake up, it seemed that she had come to the right place tonight.

As soon as he sat on the chair and picked up Changsheng, Changsheng squinted his eyes and said to Qiao Ruoyu, "Mom, I'm sleepy." ”

Qiao Ruoyu instantly regretted a little, she shouldn't have brought Changsheng over on the spur of the moment, she could stay up late, but Changsheng was still a child, and he would sleep when the time came.

Qiao Ruowei had no choice but to hug Changsheng, patted his back with her hand and said, "Then you can sleep in your mother's arms, your mother will hold you." ”

Maybe he was really tired, but Changsheng tried to open his eyes twice without opening them, and then fell asleep in a daze.

Not long after Changsheng fell asleep, the old patriarch woke up.

Xuan Xue was tired after waiting for so long, her arms were propped up on the table, and her head was leaning on it and falling down, as if she could sleep to death immediately if she was given a bed.

Maybe it was because of holding Changsheng that Qiao Ruoyu didn't feel sleepy at all, so as soon as the old patriarch woke up, she noticed it.
